Scottish copper coin

[robfinds]

These are the latest pictures of finds, from my mini afternoon session. There's a Scottish copper coin I think 17th Century. A hammered half penny bent in half (no id yet). The other hammered on it's own, is a half groat of Elizabeth 1st 1558-1603. The field will very soon be seeded, I will try to get a couple more sessions in after work, weather permitting .

Robert.
